Fueled by my curiosity in learning about AuthSub and my desire to promote web content events, I created a web content wizard for Google Calendar. I believe this will dramatically lower the barrier to entry for creating web content events. To see a screenshot of the wizard in action, check out its Help link, or if you want more information about what prompted me to do this, read the About section.

In the process of creating the wizard, I learned quite a bit about web applications, web security, and the state of free JavaScript datepickers. I plan to write up what I have learned in the weeks to come, but first I need to allocate some of my time online for Christmas shopping!

Honestly, there's a lot more I could post about this wizard today, but I believe everything is already there on the site, and I hate repeating myself, so like we [apparently] say back home in New Jersey: come and see for yourself.
